We're lucky, we live in the Sunshine State, but not everyone is so fortunate. So as a big snow storm is barreling right now towards the Northeast coast, we can sit back and kick on the AC because it's still 70+ degrees outside. So if planning your wedding here in Tampa Bay, why not give your guests a taste of what is in store for them before they even arrive. Obviously welcome bags at the hotel are a great treat, but sending them some information in advance will get them as excited about your wedding as you are!

For those out of town guests, when you receive their RSVP card that says they are coming to help you celebrate your big day, consider mailing them a packet of information about our wonderful city. A local overview map and some brochures on local attractions will help them plan some extra activities during their downtime and maybe even have them turn the weekend into a week long vacation. I mean, who wants to go out and shovel snow when you can go to the beach?! Stop by your local Chamber of Commerce to pick up some information or local hotels that have brochures displayed in their lobby. It's all free. And don't forget to add a letter from the two of you about your favorite spots and things to do here in Tampa Bay.
